Hi Terry,
You're definitely on a roll, wow, getting ever closer to that magical number 200.
I am always thrilled when a new volume of this series appears.
Just one modest proposal: Add a final check of an active TOC to your production cycle, it's missing every now and again, e.g. in this issue.

[Pulpmeister]

Oh well, back to the keyboard!

A bit later: I think I got it right this time!

Thanks for the heads-up.

[Thalassa]

Perfect, thanks a lot!
